In 'Zog and the Flying Doctors,' Donaldson and Scheffler have crafted a sweet, historical, engaging story that is hard to not embrace, especially after reading some of their other tales that stem from the same spirit. Kit Harington as Sir Gadabout the Great, the knight in the story who, at one point, joins Zog for a fight. Booktrust reviewing Zog, wrote "The illustrations are as vivid, imaginative and amusing as you would expect from the illustrator of The Gruffalo, with subtle details that children and adults will love. The perfectly crafted rhyming text is ideal for reading aloud. And the ambitious princess is a great touch." [1]

After having read the original innumerable times, we naturally had to get the sequel. Our daughter had fallen in love with all things Zog, Pearl and Gadabout. We were both excited to see what this new instalment had in store (yes, I was as, if not more eager to see what the expanded Zog universe had in store) and this did not disappoint.

Julia did the ‘Gruffalo’ and this is another wonderful story. I appreciate her fun sense of humor and the odd little worlds she creates. This is my kind of fantasy story. The poor dragon, Zog, needs to learn how to land. It’s a nice neat story where everything wraps up nicely and who can’t use a story like that here and there. Pearl's uncle, the King, doesn't think so - until he himself falls ill, and only Pearl knows how to cure him.

I really enjoy writing verse, even though it can be fiendishly difficult. I used to memorise poems as a child and it means a lot to me when parents tell me their child can recite one of my books.
